Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

A paper on the effects of Ohio’s vaccination lottery: [link]
we find that Ohio’s incentive scheme increases the vaccinated share of state population by 1.5 percent (0.7 pp), costing sixty-eight dollars per person persuaded to vaccinate. We show this causes significant reductions in COVID-19, preventing at least one infection for every six vaccinations that the lottery had successfully encouraged.

Well, I got my test results back within the hour and they were negative. I'm keeping my test appointment on Monday.

High fives my sister in negativity. They said within 24 hours, but I had my results before I got home.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We got an email last night from Mr. S's camp saying that a kid tested positive for COVID, so camp would be closed today. Luckily, our nanny was able to come at 8 this morning so Gary could go to the office. Unfortunately, Mr. S has developed a very congested nose, and is miserable about it. We may bring him in to the pediatrician's office tomorrow to get tested. At any rate, it doesn't look like we're going anywhere this weekend. Sigh...

Thrive to spite them
So work is still having Kidsfest, it was last minute so we will see how busy it is. All the cloth masks that work was selling (which some weren't the best but I do remember the good brands) are clearance and it's double discount so I'm stocking up.
I didn't wear a mask today or yesterday. I spent most of yesterday in stock rooms alone working on a project for my assistant manager (we have a lot of loose men's shoes and a lot of empty boxes or boxes with only one shoe--in 2 different stock rooms. so my project was to try and get it all sorted out. I didn't get as much done as I wanted but I swear they were multiplying behind my back). And then today I was supposed to work 6-2 but that turned into 6-12:30 for scheduling reasons. So I was only in the open store from 6-10. It wasn't that busy and I really didn't have to get too close to customers.
I realize that I'm still putting myself and others at risk but I'm having to weigh that against my issues with heat and humidity. It was extremely hot today and yesterday and the humidity wasn't as bad as it has been but at 6:30 am this morning the heat index was already 76F and the air didn't kick in at work until like 9. I mean it ran some but not what it is during when we are open. Tomorrow I'm going to try and wear a mask as much as possible, drink Smart Water, and move slower.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
askye, what about wearable neck AC or a cooling vest to help?

I am looking at Matilda's Bell Schedule for the coming school year and I've never felt so happy about a school district PDF.
She has orientation on this Monday, and starts school Aug 16th. Also she works all the way to the previous Friday on the 13th.
She's going to be back in school after 17 months.

I'm a little nervous about school here in Missouri. The Delta variant seems to affect children more or at least makes them more efficient carriers, and the state is rife with COVID.
Meanwhile, the GOP just makes me angry. [link]
Why can't a disease just be a common enemy? There are so many other things to be divided about.
